Prize in Literature

Rural Central Indiana - July 2015 Scene

So comes the news that Bob Dylan has won the Nobel prize in Literature. The United States has so many talented people in this area. I think Carl Sandberg is one we appreciate greatly.  So now we think it over; Bob Dylan's lyrics.  Bob Dylan's lyrics are an American story.

So when you see your neighbour carryin’ somethin’
Help him with his load
And don’t go mistaking Paradise
For that home across the road

Bob Dylan

The phantom of an old workhorse taking the steel point of  a plow
across a forty acre field in spring,
hitched to a harrow in summer,
hitched to a wagon among cornshocks in fall...

Carl Sandburg
